The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1283: Chapter 1283: Keep Hendrik Zachmann and Them in Check

Leonardy Zachmann took several deep breaths but still couldn’t recover from the news. He leaned on the desk, his eyes darkened, and instructed, ”Contact the JC side again and make sure they reveal who we’ve offended. As soon as you get their information, send it to me immediately. I’ll personally go and apologize.”

”Okay.”

The assistant hadn’t left when Leonardy called him back, ”Wait a moment.”

The assistant quickly returned and respectfully asked, ”Mr. Zachmann, do you have any other arrangements?”

Leonardy thought for a moment, then tiredly waved his hand, ”Never mind, that’s all. Go ahead with it.”

He originally wanted to negotiate with the other party at the corporate level, but upon reflection, he decided he needed to seek connections.

JC seems to have connections with the Illegal Zone. Hendrik Zachmann has been with Maybelissa, dealing with the powers of the Illegal Zone and is likely familiar with JC. He’ll ask Hendrik when he gets home to see if Hendrik can find out the reason behind this!

Who have they actually offended?

And who is the senior member that the JC Group people mentioned?

Leonardy’s mood grew heavy. He pressed a hand to his forehead, showing a pained expression as he said, ”You can go now, please close the door.”

The assistant was confused but obediently replied, ”Okay, Mr. Zachmann,” and left.

After the assistant left, Leonardy sat back in his leather chair. It was a while before he moved again, picking up the phone on his desk with a grave expression, ready to call Hendrik.

Before he could make the call, he received a call from Mr. Zachmann on his personal phone.

Leonardy always respected his father, so even though he was extremely anxious, he put down his current matters and took Mr. Zachmann’s call first.

”Hello, Dad.”

Before he finished speaking, the tired voice of Mr. Zachmann came from the other end of the line, ”Haven’t you been back lately?”

”The company has been busy these past two days, so I haven’t gone back.”

Leonardy had been busy with the cooperation with JC these days. He hadn’t expected that after tentatively submitting a proposal to the JC Group, they showed interest in cooperating.

He’d been holding continuous conferences with various departments these days, busy with follow-up tasks.

Meetings often stretched into the late night, ending around nine or ten, so Leonardy ended up resting at the company where he had a private suite in his office.

Who would’ve thought the seemingly smooth cooperation would fall apart in an instant?

Leonardy didn’t want to burden his father with the company’s problems and made a pretense of everything being fine, ”Dad, what’s up?”

”You should spend more time with Hendrik and the others, manage them, make sure they stop bothering their sister all the time.”

The voice from the phone made Leonardy momentarily think he misheard, ”Hendrik... who is he troubling?”

The sister his father mentioned surely wasn’t Caryn.

Hendrik had always doted on Caryn since childhood, treating her like a treasure.

If Mr. Zachmann wasn’t talking about Caryn, then the only one left is...

Leonardy’s eyelid twitched as a name flashed in his mind, ”Are you talking about Nathalie?”

”Yes.” In the nursing home room, Ericko Zachmann was holding the phone while sitting on the hospital bed, his face carrying the wisdom that only came with age.

He looked very tired, but his eyes remained sharp, possibly even sharper than in his younger days. Speaking resolutely, he advised, ”If you want to maintain harmonious family relationships with your elder brother like before, you need to control Hendrik and the others. Make sure they stop bothering Nathalie; otherwise, you might end up as two separate families in the future.”
